GARMENT HANGER. Otto Emile Hoehn, New Orleans, La. Application March 29, 1935, Serial No. 13,765 1 Claim. (01. 223 -88) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in garment hangers and has for its primary object to provide, in amanner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this'character embodying a novel construction whereby trousers may be mounted thereon and left for any length of time without forming a crease therein.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a garment hanger which will be comparatively simpie in construction, strong, durable, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become ap-- parent from a study of the following specification,

taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference designate Figure 2 is a view in bottom plan of the invention. Figure 3 is a view in vertical longitudinal section through a portion of the device.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the outer end portion of one of the wire arms. Referring now to the drawing in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a pair of oppositely inclined arms I, said arms'l being formed from a single length of suitable wire hav- 35 ing an intermediate portion bent in a manner to provide a supporting hook 2, and then twisted, as at 3, to'provide the shank 4 of said hook I.

It will thus be seen that a hook comprising two wires is provided for added strength. 4c The inclined arms I terminate in inturned outer end portions 4 between which a supporting bar 5 of arcuate cross section extends, said bar 5 being of any suitable material, preferably metal. The bar 5 is fixed on the .inturned end portions 4,, as byspot-welding at 6. v

It is thought that'the'manner of using the garment hanger will be readily apparent. Trousers vention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrange- 2o ment of parts may' be resorted to which will-fail within the scope of the invention as claimed.

' What is claimed is:

The herein described garment hanger com-' prising essentially a pair of oppositely inclined 25 arms formed of a single length of wire having at its middle a supporting hook of two' thicknesses of wire and a shank of twisted wires, said arms terminating in inwardly extending aligned end portions, a supporting bar of arcuate cross sec- 30 tion arranged endwise between the bights of the said arms and superimposed on said intume'd end portions of the arms, and spot-weldings fixedly connecting the said end. portions of the arms and the supporting bar; said spot-weldings spaced inwardiy from the ends of the bar. and located at. intermediate points in the length of the inwardly extending end portions of the arms.
